The babies were born at 29 weeks and one day. The hospital says all five infants are being cared for in the neonatal intensive care unit.

"They are so precious. They are tiny and I just love it. I thought I'd be scared because of all the machines and tubes, but I just love it," she said, adding: "I want to hold them so bad."

All were breathing on their own at the beginning but as they got tired they were placed on ventilators said Dr. Vijay Nama. Doctors expect all of the babies, except Mia to breathe on their own again very soon. Nama said they expect the babies to remain at Baylor for about seven more weeks.

Baylor University Medical Center said nearly two dozen physicians and nursing staff took part in the delivery and care of the babies.

The new mother said she and her husband will need the help of family and friends when they return home. But she is looking forward to finally being able to hold her babies and bring them home.

Dr. Anil Pinto, a fertility specialist at Baylor who did not treat Seals, said one of the medications Seals took increases risk of multiples by around 6 to 7 percent.

He said the other medication she was taking increases the risk of multiples by around 15 percent, but that 95 percent of those multiples are twins.

"Half a dozen is plenty for us," Michelle Seals said.

The Seals also have a 2-year-old son and said they don't plan to have any more children.
